Shrimp and Shiitake Risotto

Shrimp and Shiitake Risotto
Makes: 4  servings Prep 30 mins Cook 30 mins

Ingredients

  • 4 cups  reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon  unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup  finely chopped onion
  • 3 teaspoons  minced fresh garlic
  • 1 cup  Arborio rice
  • 3/4 cup  dry sherry or dry white wine
  • 4 teaspoons  olive oil
  • 6 ounces  shiitake mushrooms, stemmed, caps sliced (about 2 cups)
  • 2 teaspoons  minced fresh thyme
  • Pinch salt
  • 3/4 pound  medium shrimp, shelled and cleaned (tails removed if desired)
  • 1/4 cup  freshly grated Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons  minced fresh parsley

Directions

1. In a medium saucepan, bring the chicken broth to a simmer; reduce heat to low and keep warm.

2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion; saute until softened, 3 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon of the garlic; saute 30 seconds. Stir in the rice, then add 1/2 cup of the sherry; cook until absorbed, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the broth, stirring until absorbed, 2 minutes. Add remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time; stir each 1/2 cup until absorbed before adding the next. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice is tender and creamy, 20 to 25 minutes.

3. Heat 2 teaspoons of the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and saute until golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon each of the garlic and thyme and the pinch of salt; saute 1 minute and transfer to a plate. Add remaining oil and the shrimp to empty pan; cook 2 minutes. Add remaining garlic and saute 1 minute more. Add remaining sherry and simmer 1 minute, until shrimp are just barely cooked through; set aside.

4. When the risotto has finished cooking, stir in shrimp and liquid, mushrooms, Parmesan, parsley and remaining thyme. Warm 2 minutes. Spoon into bowls and serve.
